Yikes.

EastEnders star Jessie Wallace has reportedly been suspended from the show following an alleged “incident” that took place during filming.

The actress that plays Kat Moon (Kat Slater) was suspended after her behaviour on set was called into question by producers.

She has since been written out of the scripts for upcoming storylines.

According to the Mirror Online, a source said:

“Bosses were left with no choice but to discipline her. During the meeting she was told to sort herself out before returning to work.”

“Scriptwriters are currently coming up with a storyline to explain Kat’s temporary exit from Walford.”

The news comes as the show celebrates its 35th year, with exciting plans in place for the anniversary.

Speaking about the upcoming special episodes, Jon Sen, executive producer of EastEnders said: “For the 35th anniversary we wanted to entertain the EastEnders audience on the iconic river which has heralded the start of the show for 35 years.

“This unmissable week of episodes is destined to be exciting, gripping and heart-breaking – it will be a week that will go down in EastEnders history.”

We hope Kat will be back in Walford soon – it wouldn’t be the same without her.
